> This removes code that relied on consulting the Bezier control points to calculate the Rectangle2D bounding box. Instead it's pretty straight-forward to convert the Bezier control points into the x & y parametric equations. At their most complex these equations are cubic polynomials, so calculating their extrema is just a matter of applying the quadratic formula to calculate their extrema. (Or in path segments that are quadratic/linear/constant: we do even less work.)
> 
> The bug writeup indicated they wanted Path2D#getBounds2D() to be more accurate/concise. They didn't explicitly say they wanted CubicCurve2D and QuadCurve2D to become more accurate too. But a preexisting unit test failed when Path2D#getBounds2D() was updated and those other classes weren't. At this point I considered either:
> A. Updating CubicCurve2D and QuadCurve2D to use the new more accurate getBounds2D() or
> B. Updating the unit test to forgive the discrepancy.
> 
> I chose A. Which might technically be seen as scope creep, but it feels like a more holistic/better approach.
> 
> Other shapes in java.awt.geom should not require updating, because they already identify concise bounds.
> 
> This also includes a new unit test (in Path2D/UnitTest.java) that fails without the changes in this commit.
